We all had been raised up in Sunday School and church. We had a grandmother that was strong in faith and a disciplinarian as well as teacher of right and wrong. Our parents taught us right from wrong, but there was something about this magazine that was pulling me to keep it. I […]

My dad always seemed to have my brother and I up early on some Saturdays, hustling trying to “make that cheese!!!” Some of you know what I’m talking about! Even though daddy worked full time, he had his hustle going to that oftentimes caused me and my brother to miss some episodes of the […]

There is an old cliché that is predominately heralded in the walls of the “black church” that I hear in the back of my mind, and the cliché is, “when I look back over my life and see how far He’s brought me”! I am thrilled that after almost two years of an amazing […]

It is 2am in the morning and how I wish the Lord would let me sleep! Father, why don’t you do your downloads during daylight hours? The truth is I know the answer. Our minds are too busy to get a clear signal so He speaks when there is no traffic. It is the burden […]

There is nothing righteous about a building. There is also nothing righteous about a home or a living room. Most people agree that the building where people meet is not the church. It’s funny though how 99 out of 100 individuals will emphatically nod their head and say “Right, the building is not the church.” […]

Offices & Titles Men love titles. Men love position. Men love status. People love men of status. People love the illusion of security that comes with men having titles among them. These things have been abused in the church. This is obvious to most people. But why? And more importantly, what can we do to […]

The best times are intimate times. We desire intimacy with the Lord. We desire to connect. We desire to share. We desire to be one with others. We also desire to share the Lord with one another in a close way. When we structure it, it kills it. The letter kills, but the Spirit gives […]

In a survey conducted in Amsterdam in the 1990’s, young people were asked two questions: Are you interested in God? Are you interested in church? 100% stated they were interested God, while 99% stated they were NOT interested in church. The pastors blamed the youth. I believe one of the greatest barriers to effectively fulfilling […]

Hebrews 5:11-12 11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. 12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, […]

As you can tell from the title, I am not trying to make friends here. I am however, serious as a heart attack about the importance of this subject. I understand what I am going to say goes against thousands of years of ingrained religious nonsense, business success concepts brought in to “help” […]

I was given the gift of a handicap to keep me in constant touch with my limitations. Satan’s angel did his best to get me down; what he in fact did was push me to my knees. No danger then of walking around high and mighty! At first I didn’t think of it as a gift, and begged God to remove it. Three times I did that, and then he told me,

My strength comes into its own in your weakness.
